in egypt president morsi cancels the power grabbing decree that sparked two weeks of protests while the referendum on the new constitution will still go ahead next week after hundreds of thousands rallied near the presidential palace on friday. tried and tested the u.s. and britain claim damascus is preparing chemical weapons for an attack as the two appeared to make the case for an intervention whether the lessons from the iraq war have been learned. and the media frenzy pushing britain's a pregnancy story into overdrive as speculation mounts over a nurse's suspected suicide allegedly triggered by a prank call. from

our studios in moscow this is r.t. glad to have you with us egypt's president has an old controversial to create granting him sweeping powers beyond the reach of the judiciary the declaration issued last month sparked violent protests across the country however the referendum on the new constitution drafted by an islamist led assembly is still scheduled to take place next saturday that is despite the document being rushed through by lawmakers as critics say not enough consultation took place on friday the public made their feelings known as hundreds of thousands of marched on the presidential palace journalist truth has the details. here the presidential palace doesn't say. the nights in protest of. decree that president morsi released two weeks ago which they see as a power grab and of course the constitution which is next week. as it was written by an islamist dominated constitutional assembly overnight scenes here were tense

as the muslim brotherhoods gathered in nearby mosques to the presidential palace and they were remiss of me with my. it's only six in how that never happens the scenes were very calm after we witnessed extraordinary seeing but hundreds of thousands of protesters just outside the presidential palace in front of republican guard barricades. being a republican guards who essentially step to sites and let the flood of protesters through to the gates of the presidential palace so they could continue their protest bad right in front of the gates shouting leave morsi leave and against the constitution very emotional scenes here on the streets. and for more on the latest developments in egypt we are now joined by professor lawrence davidson from west chester university professor thank you very much for being with us. has president morsi given in to the demands of the protesters by revoking this decree well certainly. he's done a lot of. erection but i think we're going to protest there is

a leadership once here is that they want to start the process all over again. so actually they want a new election one of the new harlem and new constituent assembly and a new constitution. and they're trying to force the. morsi. who are. now. more. is trying to. dialogue. and the opposition which again is more clearly. worse is she who. says no we don't want to die well. i'm not exactly sure what. she wants to save you.

know i don't think they understand that they are. not the image and the majority leaders and once that i am i mean should die oh. well here is he has surrendered his decree but the vote will actually go ahead despite much criticism now just one time. well you know now i mean i think he knows that if the vote goes you can marshal his forces or get the constitution passed. and i think the opposition knows that he can do that therefore they want to stop that but how are they going to do that so they can walk and say what i really want and need more time to be more interaction or to just this kind of circumcision or something like that but we can't do it by just running through the streets we have to talk to him because if they don't talk to

him you push him into a corner and he does it backed out the resources to crush that he wants. well the vote on the constitution the constitution is scheduled for next saturday and it right now just doesn't seem like there are any talks in the works what are the implications if the public agrees to it or do you think they even can agree to it in your vote yes the vote will the public actually agree with the vote or decide . i mean you know i mean. he represents. my forces that are actually in the majority of the people when huge he can get this thing passed that's why he wants the road but the point is that we're going to there is a significant minority doesn't want ok so they say the monarchy there is no use to be consensus for there is a constitution before it was there needs to be consensus morsi says all right let's

start a lot and the opposition says no we don't want to die a lot where does that leave him. and where does that leave him real briefly do you think that morsi will be able to hold on to power through this whole thing yes yes i do i do because i don't think. the brotherhood. or the. rest of. the way should in egypt. i don't think those who are pushed. so where it's a very very dangerous situation it's potentially my own situation i don't think the army is going to chicken out and therefore i didn't really do what was in the opposition's court and they say they want consensus and the only way to get that is the law for him and if there are you know for what it's worth that's what i can

tell it's a good thing right appreciate your thoughts on the subject professor lawrence davidson from west chester university thank you very much for your time thank you. and public outrage hits the streets of a once stable gulf state. coming up a report from the capital of kuwait where tens of thousands demonstrated potentially writing a new chapter in the history of the arab spring find out what straw broke the camel's back later on in the program. police in the u.k. are refusing to release of the details about the death of a nurse who allegedly committed suicide after a prank call about the pregnant duchess of cambridge news of the nurse's death only added fuel to the fire as media speculation about the world baby reached fever pitch and as archie's appalling boyko reports analysts say the frenzy had already hit almost hysterical levels of coverage all this taking place against a backdrop of intense media speculation and a real media circus the whole pos week news that kate middleton is pregnant we've

seen discussions about whether or not kate could be having twins if kate has twins which of the babies potential babies would be the ones succeeding to the throne if it was if they were delivered by c. section it would be the physician potentially deciding it is the successor to the british morning tea we've seen bookmakers taking bets on what this baby might be called predictions that this will already be the most popular name in britain the stain is the name is announced you know when we've got real news taking place in syria political crisis in egypt and. the press much more interested in kate middleton's acute morning sickness i'm joined by cost curve in the studio here with me he's in london john this has been following the story cost a tragic wake up call to the first radio. it certainly should be. very very tragic case the circumstances under which are still under investigation by the

police but the real issue is of course the media which produce art of abortion i believe that you may know when a student david storey. the daily mail devoted fourteen put its first fourteen or thirteen pages of the newspaper one of the most read newspapers in the country to the royal baby it just had the leveson inquiry a damning report about the state of the british media and now this you know is this more criticism for the british media in the way it's following these stories while there is other news taking place since it internationally well again it should be but it isn't because the media is trying to deflect attention away and is calling for the hanging of the two great radio deejays the media is not questioning the amount of coverage they are devoting to your family and what consequences that this may have been if the individual's life if we had a media which was more reasoned with this wouldn't happen if the suicide is actually proven to be related to what happened but they have it now the junk and

duchess of cambridge have said that deeply saddened by the news of the tragic news of this the death of the royal not so what should have been a joy for the pregnancy announcement has been you know some say because of the disproportionate media coverage turned into a very tragic news story. and are staying with britain our london bureau is covering the backlash as the public demands more bang for its starbucks activists have threatened to close the company's outlets over the miserable amount of taxes the coffee giant pays in the u.k. despite huge profits more videos and pictures from the day of action on our twitter page. britain and the u.s. have claimed to syria's president might be readying for a chemical attack washington says it has intelligence indicating assad could resort to chemical weapons in the fight against the rebels something that would trigger a foreign military intervention the rhetoric is increasingly looking like the run up to the iraq war ten years ago r.t. has spoken to former u.s.

state department chief of staff lawrence wilkerson who was a behind of the report laying out the case for the iraq intervention we asked him what he. thanks is next for syria and how justifiable the fears are about its chemical arsenal. i would be highly skeptical of any intelligence rendered by the one hundred forty plus billion dollar us intelligence community as to weapons of mass destruction in the possession of another country period i'm not violating any great confidence or any great prohibition in the intelligence community to tell you that we've known for years years that syria has chemical weapons stockpiles just as iraq had chemical weapons stockpiles for a while but the fact that president assad would be moving them around and preparing them for use against his own citizens within his own territory i frankly find preposterous i think that if we were to intervene in a substantial way that is to say we were to put troops on the ground marines

soldiers and so forth and we were to do in syria what we began to do in march of two thousand and three in iraq it would be even worse than iraq i think also that it would be again a back door as a war into iran which is the as you well know the real threat that we've been putting out there for years now so i think you're looking at a combination here not just syria i think ultimately the target is iran meanwhile the u.k. wants to push for a review of the arms embargo on syria by its european partners london says it wants to allocate more help to rebel fighters through shipments of military gear but as first explains that type of aid could end up in the wrong hands. well the u.k. foreign office has confirmed this week britain is going to be thinking an amendment to the arms embargo on syria making it easier to help the opponents the syrian president bashar al assad now a foreign office official has said that the practical support is likely to include training and non-lethal equipment britain want to play

a role in syria after the other regime falls because small business. they would like to be involved. so therefore. wants to back the winning side. never will provide increasingly more of weapons but the trouble for britain the counter i did for eventual winners. which side would you support. what would be the interests of the militia here when they take power because the danger is that is new. leader of the opposition because of the twenty. therefore if but you leave. syria then. apart. in fact fight one another for the end of the day it's going to be the syrians are going to. be confronted. now currently

items such as body armor and night vision goggles a cool sub in that arms embargo and say the amendment would allow items like that to be supplied of course throughout the conflict in syria we've seen an increasingly fragmented opposition say there is a lot of concern that the supply of any weaponry could well end up in the wrong hands nonetheless pushing ahead this week seeking that amendments. to surf earth reporting for us there now coming up in the next part of the program hundreds of thousands of palestinians but. that leader of hamas is on his first visit to gaza after years of exile calling on his supporters to keep up the resistance we ask what this means for the region and the world he said more after a short break. a

forty nine year old southern california man was brought in president charles with possessing materials to make an explosive device all because of his rather unusual wristwatch despite the bomb squad saying that his watch was not a weapon he read a custody for twenty four hours and was charged with the crime anyways a spokesman for the meter county sheriff's department said that the man's watch had all the components to make an improvised explosive device minus the explosive material you know having a lighter in your pocket is also everything you need to self exposure minus the gun powder but before we make a victim out of this watch where i have to point out one thing the white. she was wearing was designed to look like some sort of bomb with fuses and wires and switches so who's more idiotic someone who wears a device that looks like a bomb on an airplane or a government who convict someone for having the components of a bomb without that bit of the bomb that makes a blow up i'd say both are pretty dumb but that's just my opinion.

on live from moscow this is r.t. welcome back crowds are rallying in kuwait capital against of the parliament elected last week and a disputed amendment to electoral law protesters say the voting rules were changed so they favor pro-government candidates one of the oldest gulf monarchies kuwait has been shaken by a series of political crises the government unleashed a crackdown on protesters and suppressed of the opposition that largely went on notice in the western world but all of this is energizing the resistance even more . off explains. and you don't rise is over kuwait tensions are simmering beneath the calm as those seeking political change are forced to wait

another day. trying to one sleepy community into a powerful nation although it's been ruled by the same family for more than two centuries kuwait is widely seen as the most imma craddick of the gulf monarchies get some young kuwaitis beg to differ there is a few countries. to give. to the people but. it's just. the government says it is doing all it can to maintain stability supporters of the ruling family point out that it boasts a robust public life with electoral traditions and a vibrant parliament for youth activists. that's not enough the opposition consists of an unlikely alliance of youth groups hard line islamists and local tribes who are ramping up their calls for reform increasingly they've taken their message to the street for peaceful demonstrations have been met with an iron fist. beaten up by. the special forces. and

after the march. on the streets just being. critics of kuwait's government claim it turns a blind eye to allegations of widespread corruption and the use of security forces to crush dissenting voices ask for the rule of law so we don't have a law we have a law that is being used whenever the government feels like using the riffs here began years before the arab spring protests but have intensified over a series of political crises the opposition dominated parliament was dismissed earlier this year following a row with the ruling establishment the electoral law was then changed prompting many to boycott kuwait's most recent parliamentary vote the resulting divide is unlikely to be bridged anytime soon and it leaves the monarchy with an energized opposition eager to make itself heard i was actually. this was reading recently for a car that was. down what people are trying to say by taking the streets

up there are. a little something they want more freedom to write about. this one show us that load isn't enough to. just say in the future how that future plays out well write the next chapter of the arab spring to seek out the no forty eight. in gaza hundreds of thousands of people have joined the celebrations marking the twenty fifth anniversary of hamas the crowds were addressed by the leader of the islamist group leader michel he has returned from exile to visit the strip for the first time in decades michel valid to liberate palestine inch by inch and called for arab countries to keep on defying israel rival party fatah was also invited to the event as michel stressed the importance of reconciliation a giant a replica of a medium range rocket was the centerpiece of the event political analyst sharmeen told r.t. about its significance. i think the rockets are sign of two things

one that all options are back on the table that the military option for powell seems to resist militarily is now a possibility again the second reason the rocket counts is i think it's a sign that deterrence has been reestablished of course it makes the israelis nervous they don't like to be sitting there and they don't like to be told that they are the defeated party this is you know fairly unprecedented and except for of course hezbollah's defeat of israel in two thousand and six they'll be dying to prove themselves but for once they can't because every day that the conflict went on and of amber it may be iran and palestinian islamic jihad and hizbollah look better and. the not tarrie the u.s. u.k. and france worse because you know these are people who are time but arming the resistance in syria and pushing forward but not willing of course to arm the

resistance in gaza so israel has had to sit tight or risk a lot more potentially well let's look at some other news around the world as our former prime minister silvio berlusconi has announced he is to run for office in next year's parliamentary elections the flamboyant seventy six year old tycoon says he wants to leave the. debt ridden country out of financial crisis he stepped down in disgrace last year with italy on the brink of financial disaster and has since been convicted of tax fraud. the president of the philippines has declared a state of emergency has a deadly typhoon bopha is making its way back towards the country the storm claimed the lives of more than five hundred people earlier this week with tens of thousands left homeless saudis expect more heavy rains floods and landslides in the northeast of the country and coming up a look at colombia's four decades long civil war after a short break. so

as. most of the mines in segovia have passed into the hands of citizens who established small companies and have exploited them for many years now. at the mine one hundred thirty workers bring the or to the surface like ants carrying it on their backs from a depth of three hundred metres. we take the or out by the side. you try not to make it too heavy so you can walk. on it.
